kinda stupid but important question... I use Outlook Express... In order to delete an email, you have to right click it, or click on it to highlight it...which then "opens" the email in the lower pane....is this actually opening the email ????

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it.
Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together.
